Joe Biden: Americans should ‘think much bigger’ about policy after coronavirus

“I think we have to look at it totally differently than we have before,” Biden said during a town hall on CNN Thursday, when asked if he’s now willing to consider universal health care, basic income or other ideas once deemed by critics to be overly ambitious. “And I think the way to get through this is we have to deal with stimulating the economy, but then we have to deal with recovery. And the way you deal with recovery is you think much bigger than we have before.”

Biden cited President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, a series of 1930s public works projects in the aftermath of the Great Depression, suggesting that “every great change” in America has started with a crisis.

The former veep also said economic recovery should address “global warming” and incorporate environmental policy.

“We have an opportunity now to take in a recovery act, a real recovery. We can fundamentally change the science relating to global warming. And we can create, seriously create 10 million good-paying jobs. We can do it. It’s within our power to do it.”

We should think much smaller and rollback the Left’s big thinking from decades past.

I’ll think bigger - about a policy that presidential candidates need to be tested for Alzheimer’s before they are allowed to run.

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal was a disaster for the USA.

Same for LBJ’s “Great Society”

Both were calamitous for America.

And Biden thinks that kind of obscene expansion of government is a good idea?

Biden’s plan for the election: Become an even less coherent Bernie Sanders.

“the Thing” is painful to watch. He isn’t going to make it until November.

It’s going to be Kamala v. Trump.

Mr. Biden just recently consulted with the great statesman and notorious genius, AOC.

Apparently, he learned a lot from her.

Today, 4/17, Friday, on Rush Limbaugh, Rush is acting like Biden is the nominee...I don’t see it...even if Obama endorsed him. He’s so mentally not there, much of it has to be an act. Biden only wins if 40,000,000 new registered voters “vote” in favor of Biden (cheating...dead people, illegal aliens.

Biden is so senile-acting, I have to believe much of it is on purpose so Clinton can steal it on a, “as needed” basis...rescuing the party due to Biden’s obvious inability...

I just hate Rush acting line Biden will be the nominee...it is so obvious to me he can’t be, and the Dems can’t be THAT stupid or deluded.

When I noticed that the media often quotes what they think Biden meant to say, I started creating these literal word for word transcriptions of what he ACTUALLY says. This is who the Democrat Party is running to be leader of the free world.
